GOD YES!!
sorry, but my sisters boyfriend got refused a job because some immigrant went for the same same one. and because it was only him and this other person they had to give it to the immigrant other wise they may of looked rasist
and i know that it wasnt down to experiance because one of the managers in the place he was going for is a friend of the family. |

Yes i think so,its way too over crowded as it is |

Yes. Until we've sorted out strong checks and a coherent immigration policy and quota system in situ. Every other country has so why shouldn't we? |

I think you have a point. whilst i have nothing against immigrants themselves, i treat people equally, but this country is really going to struggle soon if the government dont start limiting the numbers xx |

The decision was made in the 70's when it was voted upon us a country entering the EU. The damage has already been done.
Would we benefit from stopping immigration??we can not even blow our noses in the UK without permission from Brussels!
'They' would not let us unless we pulled out of the EU or re-negotiate our terms of being in the EU which many MP's have said we should do. |

Complete stop............no. But more robust measures to control the influx, yes. |

I would say yes but we will never stop immigration completely but our government should change the way they do it , do it the way Australia do it, where you need points, money and a job. |

I think there is plenty of rational evidence to show that the low and unskilled job sector in the UK is shrinking, therefore refusing entry to unskilled workers is reasonable.
If there is a place of safety between where an "asylum seeker" starts and the UK they should go there, not the UK.
But I am against unnecessary restrictions on skilled workers, as it is potentially a massive exercise in shooting ourselves in the foot to block them.
However, those who, despite their qualifications, are demonstrably unable to fit in with UK culture should also be blocked. |

Of course, in fact we should deport some of them as well. |

Absolutely, we should hang an enormous FULL sign at all points of entry, track down and repatriate all illegal immigrants, and start taking care of our own before all comers. Then maybe in a few decades we could allow limited immigration. |

Yes. We are in crisis. How are our children supposed to learn in classes in excess of 30 students, with 25% of them not even speaking English. |

Many countries around the world are experiencing immigration issues. Making an educated decision regarding the best course of action is proving difficult. Unfortunately, even elected governments do not have the ability to appease all the inhabitants of their country. They are simply doing what is agreeable to the majority. Considering the burgeoning population, it is becoming increasing clear that most countries need to reconsider their immigration policies. |

No, stopping immigration all together is not the solution. Strict enforcement of illegal immigration is the answer. If you rephrase the question to "should the UK reform its immigration policy to be more selective?" Then I will agree. |

Yes. As Kenny b said we're already overcrowded and we are only a small island. |
|

cyansure

Absolutely,
they live on an island/limited resources and land
they have been generous as far as offering immigration for years.
to retain their nationality,culture and governing precepts, further dilution and additional input will simply complicate the standards of life current enjoyed by the current brits/ irish.
open generous societies are fine but no society serves its people when they do not periodically assess and take stock .. |

Well, I'm an American, so I don't know if my opinion really matters. In America, we have immigration run amok. But the problem really isn't immigration. The problem is illegal immigration and lack of assimilation.
In America, I have to learn Spanish, so I can communicate with my patients. They move here, live here for years, but don't bother to learn a word of English. I have to "press 1" for English when using an ATM or making a phone call.
People wanting to immigrate to Great Britain should do so illegally. They need to adopt British values and learn the Queen's English. Otherwise, go home. |

Even if we wanted to stop all immigration it would be impracticable. You have to agree that some of the immigrants have become some of the richest and largest employers in the UK. I believe our National Health Service could not run without professional immigrants. |

OH YES |

for now
until the levels of immigration and the impact it is having on communities can be assessed...
the numbers allegedly settling here are lower than the real number and that doesn't include all the illegals, who seem very difficult to turf out |

too late the damage has already been done to many uk passport holders |

No, you should get out of the north of Ireland as you've no right to it.
BTW, as you oppressed the world for centuries - what goes around does come around. |

I agree. Close the borders. |

I do not personally know of any details or overview arguments of your situation, but.............
Here in the ole US of A, we have illegal immigration causing such a multitude of problems that the way of life for even our poor has drastically been altered. Are you having similar problems as well? You best get a handle on it very soon, or the quality of your life may change. Hopefully you are not having a people of a NEW language coming over and playing games with the systems in place, milking programs dry, increasing crime, bankrupting the medical system and causing all of our wages to fall!
Stand fast to what works best to keep your nation STRONG. We're drowning in Texas with this poison coming over our borders...hopefully you don't have idiots in power who refuse to acknowledge what is happening and looking the other way.

The answer is probably yes, but I am a realist and so I have to say it won't happen. The US is in no better shape when it comes to illegals. But, we still welcome legal immigration. |

Not unless you want your economy crippled. Perhaps the flow of immigrants should be slowed down or put through a more rigorous check but to completely stop it would spell economic disaster. The growth of the UK economy has been out pacing the natural birth rate for some time and hopefully will continue to do so. Ideally only skilled, educated immigrants with sufficient wealth would ever be let in the UK, of couse that will never happen so we must take the bad with the good. |
